The investigation into the alleged mistreatment of former Rutgers football player Jevon Tyree — and the response of the university's athletics department to the incident — is expected to be completed within the next 10 to 14 days, according to a person with knowledge of the process.

The allegations stem from a study hall incident last spring in which Tyree, a first-year cornerback said he was verbally abused and physically threatened by defensive coordinator Dave Cohen, then ostracized by members of the coaching staff.

After a meeting between Tyree’s parents and athletic director Julie Hermann on Nov. 20 – brokered by the Rev. Dr. DeForest B. "Buster" Soaries Jr. – Rutgers released a statement announcing that its general counsel, John Farmer Jr., would "review the incident and assess all relevant facts and any subsequent actions taken by the university's athletic department."

Farmer recused himself from the investigation on Nov. 26 because he was a potential witness. The Saiber law firm was retained by the university to conduct the investigation at the rate of $215 per hour.

The law firm has conducted interviews with Hermann, Flood, Cohen, players, Tyree, Tyree’s parents, Soaries and others, according to multiple sources.

The investigation also involves reviewing documents and university policies, the sources said. The report will be filed to Rutgers president Robert Barchi and the university’s board of governors, according to the person who spoke to NJ.com on the condition of anonymity.

The university will review the document, then release the report or ask for additional investigation, that person said.
